The procedures I used in this experiment deal with how long a material can hold the heat the sun gives off and how long that material holds it. I got four thermometers and four cork plugs to see if water, soil, stone, and air could hold heat to see what material can keep the heat for solar energy.

ach of the painted black bottles were placed in the sun. The bottle filled with water hit a temperature of 106 degrees. The reason water got to be a 106 degrees is because water can be heated by a surrounding temperature and can be heated by the sun's heat also. The bottle filled with soil got to be the highest temperature of all the bottles. It reached, 110 degrees at the highest point of the experiment. My thoughts on the reason it got to be so hot is that, since the bottles were black and the soil is black the temperature of the bottle would be more hotter. Black absorbs the greatest amount of the sun's heat. The bottle filled with stone was measured to be the most coldest of all the four bottles, 100 degrees. I would think that stone would be the coldest because it is a solid and solids can't hold heat as well as other materials can. The final and l
